Glencore Corporate Events
Glencore reported that for 2025 it delivered production for its key commodities within guidance for a second consecutive year, underlining the benefits of its simplified operating structure, even as full-year own-sourced copper output fell 11% to 851,600 tonnes due to lower grades and mine sequencing at several South American assets. The group nonetheless saw a strong second-half copper rebound, higher zinc and steelmaking coal volumes, and stable energy coal output, supported by grade improvements and the contribution from its Elk Valley Resources acquisition, while cobalt production was deliberately reduced and subordinated to copper in the Democratic Republic of Congo amid new export quota rules, which are expected to keep cobalt sales constrained but allow prioritisation of copper volumes. Management reiterated its ambition, backed by newly reported resource additions at key Latin American copper projects, to grow into one of the world’s largest copper producers over the next decade, and guided that 2025 Marketing Adjusted EBIT will land around the midpoint of its upgraded long-term range, signalling resilient trading earnings despite softer realised coal prices and higher copper unit costs linked to the absence of DRC cobalt by-product sales.

Glencore has confirmed that it is in preliminary talks with mining rival Rio Tinto over a potential combination of some or all of their businesses, which could include an all-share merger structured as a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under which Rio Tinto would acquire Glencore. The company stressed there is no certainty that any transaction will be agreed, nor clarity yet on its possible terms or structure, though the UK Takeover Code imposes a deadline of 5 February 2026 for Rio Tinto to either announce a firm offer or walk away, focusing market attention on the coming weeks and triggering disclosure obligations for shareholders with significant positions in either group.

Glencore plc has repurchased 8.4 million of its own ordinary shares off-market from UBS AG on 8 January 2026 as part of its ongoing share buyback programme that began in July 2025. The shares, bought in Swiss francs with Swiss withholding tax deducted from the gross price, are being acquired for cancellation, reducing the number of shares in issue to 11.74 billion, while treasury shares remain unchanged at about 1.27 billion. The transaction, conducted under a pre-approved off-market buyback authority and a shareholder-approved buyback contract with UBS, underlines Glencore’s continued capital-return strategy ahead of its full-year 2025 results expected in February 2026, and may enhance earnings per share and support the stock by shrinking the free float. UBS’s related on-market trades, executed under EU market abuse rules, may not match exactly the number of shares Glencore ultimately buys for cancellation due to UBS’s mandate to manage its equity exposure under the contract.
